DSCRMDR
Ever experienced discrimination at doctor's office, clinic, or hospital

Description

For adults 18 and older who completed the Social and Health Experiences (SHE) self-administered questionnaire (SDOHELIG), DSCRMDR indicates whether the respondent has ever experienced discrimination at a doctor's office, clinic, or hospital. DSCRMDR was fielded as one of seven questions about experiences with discrimination included in the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) supplement fielded via the 2021 SHE pencil-and-paper questionnaire. The SHE questionnaire was the first MEPS-HC questionnaire to be fielded using paper and web modes. Please see SATISFIED for more information on the SDOH supplement, including a complete list of variables fielded on the 2021 SHE.

Related Variables

These questions were adapted from the Urban Institute's 2018 Well-Being and Basic Needs Survey, which measures well-being and a family's ability to meet basic needs. In addition to DSCRMDR, the Experiences with Discrimination variables include the following:

 

  • DSCRMWRK: Ever experienced discrimination at work
